Ignoring the proper use of "bare metal", you should review the pros/cons of deploying with Docker vs SCP. Docker is helpful when you have a lot dependencies, or otherwise need to create a reproducible image (configuration, special directory structure, etc.) or when you want to control the process's resources (sandboxing). Otherwise, because Go compiles into single binaries, if there's no other external dependencies/configuration to manage and you don't need process isolation/sandboxing, then Docker is just another moving part that adds complexity and could go wrong.
